Orlando City star midfielder Kaká has been called up by Brazil for World Cup qualifiers this month against Paraguay and Uruguay.

The midfielder was among the team announced Thursday by Seleção coach Dunga. Brazil will play Uruguay on March 25 and Paraguay on March 29. Orlando City has a bye week on March 25-26, opting to take off during the international window, and plays the Portland Timbers on April 3.

Kaká was called up by Brazil for qualifiers in November against Argentina and Peru and played 15 minutes in a qualifier against Venezuela in October, a 3-1 win.

Kaká said earlier this offseason that his goal was to be called up for these qualifiers.

“I hope so. I will do what I can,” he told reporters. “I was with the team in two games recently. I want to begin this season at a high level, physically healthy, so that Dunga will call me to be in the two upcoming games.”

The Lions captain has had a standout preseason on the stat sheet, scoring several goals and being involved in a number of others, including four assists in a 6-1 win against Brazilian club Bahia last Saturday.

Should he remain in the picture with Brazil, Kaká is likely to be included in the Copa America Centenario roster for this summer’s tournament in the U.S. Brazil plays in Orlando’s Citrus Bowl against Haiti on June 8.
